Explanation
An RFQ (Request for Quotation) is sent to vendors when the buyer already knows the specific product they want and needs formal pricing information, including unit cost, payment terms, delivery schedules, and contract conditions. Because the security administrator has already identified the specific brand and model, the next step is to obtain an official price quote. An RFI (Request for Information) is used earlier in the process to gather general product information before a specific model is chosen. An RFC (Request for Comments) is used in standards development (IETF) or internal change control processes. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is a disaster recovery metric, not a procurement document.
